Riverwood (Skyrim)

Major bugs: 1 • Minor bugs: 4 • Notes: 0

Major Bugs

 * If you enter Riverwood at the start of a new game with Hadvar (Imperials), Faendal may be found dead somewhere in town making it impossible to start the quest A Lovely Letter.

Side Quests

 * The Golden Claw

Miscellaneous

 * Chop Wood
 * A Lovely Letter
 * Quest all Drunks Have

Minor Bugs

 * If you commit a crime in Riverwood, stay out of town for over 24 in-game hours and then return, the townspeople will be hostile towards you but the guards will not attack nor even attempt to arrest you. Killing hostile residents at this point will have no effect on the guards nor your bounty.
 * Fast traveling to Whiterun and paying off your bounty / going to jail there will fix this bug.
 * Telling your follower to kill a chicken seems to anger the residents, but they forget about the occurance right after the fact. You don't receive a bounty for this either.
 * If Stump follows one of the children onto the lookout post at the edge of town, he might get stuck between the barriers from being too big.
 * Residents will sometimes walk through the river water instead of using a closer path.

Fixed

 * (PS3) Prior to patch 1.2, Riverwood was especially prone to dragon attacks and their corpses would clip through buildings, cause lag and fail to clean up when the rest of the area would automatically reset itself.
